NEWS RELEASE

Coeur Provides Updated Palmarejo Mine Plan

Chicago, Illinois - July 20, 2014 - Coeur Mining, Inc. (“Coeur” or the “Company”) (NYSE: CDE) announced an updated and re-scoped mine plan and preliminary economic assessment for its Palmarejo silver and gold mine in Mexico (the “New Mine Plan”). The New Mine Plan reflects the mine’s transition to a lower tonnage, higher-grade, higher-margin underground operation prioritizing cash flow over production ounces.

Highlights

• Guadalupe underground expected to become Palmarejo’s primary ore source by 2016

• Material increase in overall grades compared to prior years

• Palmarejo open pit life extended through mid-2015 based on current metals prices and known reserves

• Ongoing exploration initiative expected to identify new resources and continue converting a significant portion of existing resources into reserves

Mitchell J. Krebs, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “This updated outlook for Palmarejo is based on year-end 2013 reserves and resources that we believe are economic based on prices of $20 per ounce for silver and $1,300 per ounce for gold. It demonstrates our commitment to prioritizing higher-quality, higher-margin ounces versus seeking to maximize the quantity of production ounces. It also demonstrates the significance of Guadalupe to Palmarejo’s future, which is why our recent decision to place Guadalupe into production next year was so important. In addition, the modified economics of the recently announced new gold stream agreement with Franco- Nevada will help boost Palmarejo’s future cash flow profile.

“This plan includes a small percentage of overall reserves and no resources other than 1.7 million tons of inferred resources that are included in the updated Guadalupe plan,” Mr. Krebs continued. “This represents a solid base from which we expect to expand and improve our operations over time. We are confident we will further add to Palmarejo’s mine life through ongoing exploration activities focused on adding higher-grade, higher-margin underground material.”

The New Mine Plan is a preliminary economic assessment that represents a re-scoping of the existing mine plan contemplated by the 2008 feasibility study. Since this initial study was completed before the mine commenced production in April of 2009, reserves at Palmarejo have declined, metal prices have experienced high volatility, a royalty stream agreement was put in place with Franco-Nevada Corporation in early 2009, and letters of intent to terminate that agreement and enter into a new gold stream agreement were recently signed with Franco-Nevada. These factors motivated Coeur to re-scope the existing mine plan and establish the New Mine Plan, which assumes a higher cut-off grade.

The New Mine Plan also includes 42% of the currently estimated inferred mineral resources, which the Company expects to be able to upgrade to reserves through a $24 million drilling program over the next six years. This drilling will leverage existing and planned development at Guadalupe, enabling efficient drilling activity. While the New Mine Plan contemplates mining a higher-grade subset of the resources during the current price environment, it does not sterilize any existing reserves or resources, which are expected to be mined at some point in the future.

Insofar as the New Mine Plan contains a preliminary economic analysis that is based, in part, on inferred mineral resources, the New Mine Plan does not have as high a level of certainty as would a plan that was based solely on proven and probable reserves. Inferred mineral resources are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be considered for estimation of mineral reserves, and there is no certainty that the inferred mineral resources will be realized.

Expected capital expenditures over the life of the mine include approximately $4 million each year for capitalized drilling, with $24 million of the total to be spent to upgrade the inferred mineral resources at Guadalupe. Spending for underground mine development is expected to ramp up to $10 million per year in 2016 and 2017 when the inferred material is expected to come into production. Expenditures related to the tailings facility are expected to be complete in 2016. Approximately 40% of the other (sustaining/infrastructure-related) capital costs are expected

to be incurred during 2014, as ongoing capital needs are anticipated to decline as production from Palmarejo ramps down.

Recovery Assumptions	Dec 2014 - LOM	3/31/14 LTM
Average silver recovery rate	83%	77%
Average gold recovery rate	87%	82%

Production Process at Palmarejo

In early 2014, Coeur commissioned a new Merrill Crowe facility to improve recovery rates. Improved blending of a range of ore types has also contributed to improved recovery rates for both silver and gold. Recovery rates tend to be higher for underground ore than from surface ore due to the lower oxide content underground. As Coeur feeds a higher proportion of underground (sulfide ore) tons to the mill, recovery rates are expected to improve.

Further process improvements planned for Palmarejo during 2014 are expected to result in higher recovery rates and lower production costs. Firstly, when oxide ore and sulfide ore are combined in the flotation circuit, the oxide ore hinders the recovery of the sulfide ore. Therefore, Coeur intends to process the oxide ore and sulfide ore separately by creating a bypass for the oxide ore by the end of 2014 to sidestep the flotation circuit and flow directly to an agitated leach circuit. Secondly, the reduced milling rate in the New Mine Plan will result in higher retention times in the leach tanks, which is expected to result in higher recovery rates. These changes are expected to result in higher recoveries for silver and gold as well as lower production costs due to the reduced cyanide consumed during flotation.

Notes to the above mineral reserves and resources:

1. Effective December 31, 2013.

2. Metal prices used for mineral reserves were $25.00 per ounce of silver and $1,450 per ounce of gold. Metal prices used for mineral resources were $29.00 per ounce of silver and $1,600 per ounce of gold.

3. Mineral resources are in addition to mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. Inferred mineral resources are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be considered for estimation of mineral reserves, and there is no certainty that the inferred mineral resources will be realized.

4. Rounding of tons and ounces, as required by reporting guidelines, may result in apparent differences between tons, grade, and contained metal content.

5. For details on the estimation of mineral resources and reserves, including the key assumptions, parameters and methods used to estimate the mineral resources and reserves, please refer to the NI 43-101-compliant Technical Report for Coeur's Palmarejo Project dated January 1, 2013 and filed February 28, 2013 at www.sedar.com.
